Exactly! All clubs have serious fans, but the bandwagonners add $$$. Most bandwagonners obviously follow the crowd so they flock to the big clubs. But they’d go right for the team Thor goes for!

So were Geelong allowed to train for the last final?
We haven’t played in Melbourne since we played Port themselves!

I miss PG, would never have accepted this shit.

I hope the Port crowd remember the words of their CHO and the 5 Ds of dodgeball and Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and Dodge the Covid infested footballs we will be pumping in their direction behind the goals.

Re: Training 2021 Season
Yeah, so there's a little thing called conflict of interest and if KWW tried to really run with the Dogs and Marvel link via Thor she'd lose her job. Let's get a bit real about this.
I do agree there needs to be some strong objection in the media, and it should come from either her or our CEO. No question.
Guess this is just another case of Bulldogs/ VIC bias within the AFL.............
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

This is clearly an AFL issue. The AFL should have made the proper arrangements from the start.
The AFL needs to sort this out, either we train, or head back to Perth and play Sunday.

Re: Training 2021 Season
This is pretty outrageous and ridiculous. I mean, who are they even going to come in contact with? Let alone all the states reasons why they clearly don’t have COVID.
What a glorious win this will be!

The AFL and it's media sycophants will just do what they did last week when they came out and said QLD Health are actually being lenient and allowing us freedom to leave our rooms when it was just a small window where the entire team could have lunch together as a group.
I can't imagine another professional league any where in the world would allow the playing field to be so unbalanced as it the AFL has.
The same group of players will be playing in front of 10s of 1000s tomorrow night, yet can't run around for 30 mins in front of no one. SA is a joke.

Re: Training 2021 Season
Last time we played Port, we had to quarantine in our own home state. Players were forced to stay either in a hotel or home for 5 days before SA gov allowed them to come over. This is just plain cheating.
AFL have *!*!*!*!ed this up

Amen. The fact that Bevo is the one who has now gone to the media and complained about this is wrong, should of been the CEO / President.

Re: Training 2021 Season
Well said Sedat.
Is PG refreshed and ready to takeover again!?
In terms of the idiotic SA restrictions, *!*!*!*! the AFL. The game should have been in Perth. Prelims/GF should have been Perth, simple. The fact that the AFL ticks off on us flying from Brisbane to Perth and then Perth to SA is disgraceful, let alone not being able to train on the ground we play on for a PRELIMINARY FINAL. Why didn't the AFEL examine the options and make the easy call?
The absolute grubs in the media won't run with that story / question the AFL because it won't sell enough papers and our President/CEO have no backbone.
